Edgar's Universe

Mad

You try to kill me.

(Deep inhale)

Boi.

Maybe I didn't make it clear to you. My name is Edgar. I write. This is a story. So put the fucking pieces together. You can't kill me. If you kill me, this world dies. It's not canon. Without me, any gems I create will cease. Speaking of which, I have a gem to shatter.

I lunge at Lapis and shatter her.

"Nooooo!" Steven yells.

I pick Steven up.

Goodbye.

I throw Steven back towards the temple. He floats back down safely.

Are you trying to lose?

Heh, boy, if you won't accept your true form willingly...

A demonic version of myself appears before me. Sharp talons, a gaping maw, my true self.

Then I will break you by force.

Then let us begin.

Even though it's all in my head, I lunge...
